As you have found out. Pickings are slim. We started with a nitelighter. It's an over the wall. The transformer lasted a few years. We now have the multi color one. Just wish they made them in LED. I looked at the return lights but I think I am too lazy to drop the level and install one.

I don't understand the backfill. From your pictures it looks like a typical above ground pool that should be free standing. It did not look like they buried it. If it was buried I could see the backfill would be needed.

Don't take it the wrong way but you really can not take control without the right testing equipment. Pool stores will test your water for FREE but the chemicals they sell you are not. They are in the chemical sales business. It has also been proven that pool store test are very unreliable. I...

What test kit are you using. You need to slam your pool but you will going blind without the FAS/DPD chlorine test and knowing your cya level. Sent from my VS870 4G using Tapatalk

Ok first thing is you say you bump the filter. I take it you have a perflex DE filter. As the others have said DE filters are very good at keeping a clean pool clean. Do you have the full kit with the base. The pump filter and base as one unit or is the filter just sitting next to the pump. I...

I have a doughyboy and they have the boots. It should be the same I think they were called the hard plumb kit. I paid 7.50 each for two. I did use the cheap red or black handle valves for the return and skimmer. I was thinking when they freeze up and brake I would change them out with pool...

No what I am taking about is a valve for pump to waste. DE filters are very good at keeping a clean pool clean. If you have stuff on the floor you can discharge it before it gets to the filter. You would need two valves then. One before the pump for main drain and skimmer and one between the...

Yes that is the valve. It would go between the pump and filter. The straight side would be from pump to filter. The other would normally stay closed. You can then put your backwash hose "normally blue vinal hose" on that side. When you want to vac to waste, open that side and it will close the...

One thing I would suggest is add a three way between the pump and filter. The perflex does not have a way to pump to waste. Spend the money at the pool store and get a good pool valve. Then you can vac to waste with that setup. Sent from my VS870 4G using Tapatalk

A 16oz water bottle should work in the skimmer, the return eye should have a disk to replace the eye. If not then a ping pong ball will work. Block the skimmer, then crack open the pump basket lid or open the pump drain. You want water flowing into the return from the pool. Then vacuum should...

I did a quick scan over the IRC and can't find it. It may be a local zoning thing. City's adopt the IRC but can add and modify to suit the local needs. I know the city I am by says 3 ft setback from property line, minimum equal depth to distance from structures to leading edge. The only thing I...

That would be the easiest. Plus if it's a single twist lock plug it should be the only thing plugged in.

They are an odd ball size. They have the adapters from their size to 1.5" PVC. They run about 7.00 each. Some have used the rubber reducers found in the plumbing section of hardware stores.

Not really. As long as it is not over the skimmer door. If it is you will not be skimming the surface like it should.

Used a toilet plunger on my father-in-laws. Got in and started in the center. Once you get a hold of it, you can work them out. Getting wrinkles out is hard on the thumbs though.

Re: How long can pool stay clear with no filter?? Missing pa Mine stayed clear about a week after hurricane Rita. Then again I added chlorine and swam to mix it everyday just to cool off. Look at it this way... If you do run into problems it CAN be cleared. As long as you follow the advice...
